Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Pain is OK

So...its not that my cells dont use insulin right...it's that they can't recognize it?

Have you tried pravastatin or rosuvustatin? they are both water soluble (as opposed to fat soluble). I take pravastatin now and have no ill effects. Zocor (fat soluble) was bad for me. CQ10 is cheap and worth a try.

Afaic if its causing pain it's probably causing muscle destruction. Is he running around with your wife?

I wouldnt take it. Mine is high, but my buddy dr recs the risks outweigh the benefits.

I was interested because statins help destroy beta amyloid, a component of plaque in dementia.

I have to agree 100%. Sugar and wheat are prime enemies of the human body. I love doughnuts and am still suffering emotional withdrawal.

"So I tell the doctor that it always causes me pain and he says I need to take it anyway. Why is it OK to have pain?
My sister tells me CQ-10 helps with this so I'm going to give it a try."

Is this a GP or a cardiologist? He should have told you to take CoQ10 when he wrote the first Statin prescription. If it is your GP you should get checked out by a cardiologist ASAP. I quit taking Statin drugs many years ago because of extreme fatigue. My best friend who will be 80 in July is a diabetic could never take Statin drugs because of leg pain. Instead of prescribing statin drugs the researchers should be investigating what causes artery inflammation and how to reduce that inflammation. LDL just attaches to inflamed arteries to protect them like it's supposed to. My cardiologist just tells me to exercise a lot and not get fat. We did talk about the cholesterol lowering shots last year (my insurance doesn't pay for them). I told him the only way anybody would be able to give me a cholesterol lowering shot was if they shot me with a tranquilizer dart first.

The Doctor would have to explain to me just why he/she wants me to take anything.

They put me on statins years ago but they left me with out any energy at all.

Did them for 6 weeks without any change but wanted me to keep taking them.

I quit after my good friend's Dad came down with liver cancer,he had been taking them for years.

His Mom was also on the same meds so she got to looking for another way to lower the bad cholesterol.

She found that eating walnuts,a 1/4 cup a day would lower it so i tried it.

In 2 weeks i felt better and at the next 6 week blood draw it was down to normal limits.

Have not had a draw in all or the years since that had a high anything.

Even though there's a tremendous amount of science backing medicine, it's still more of an art rather than science. A patient is nothing more than a lab rat or guinea pig until the doc figures out how to treat their patient. Bad medicine is the third leading cause of death.

CBD oil, should now be legal in your state.

if you are going to take a statin, use the combinations like Vytorin etc. far better product.

Or put a sign in your drive way, saying "Deposit old prescription drugs here" and get a PDR

"Every statin drug I've taken results in some muscular myopathy."

You should stop taking statin drugs before it destroys your kidneys. One of my friends was taking a mega dose of Lipitor and niacin at the same time. The makers of Lipitor said to NEVER take niacin with Lipitor because it greatly increases your chance of muscular myopathy which could destroy your kidneys. He asked his Doc about it and was told that it was worth the risk. I asked him "What kind of risk is your Doc taking?" Before my friend died the was taking 18 prescription drugs.

A Dr told me years ago that Lipitor was removing what is basically a lubricant between the muscle fibers and that is the cause of the pain. CO Q 10 solved that problem fairly fast. I found it at one of those stores that sells everything for a dollar the other day. I just wish there was a source of the truth about all these medications we take and their interaction with each other and your body.

My dad had extremely high cholesterol levels and a bad heart attack. The Dr put me on medication and told me to eat all the complex carbs I wanted. Stay away from fats. In the back of my mind I'm thinking that is the cause of my type 2 diabetes. Now I have to avoid carbs so I eat the things that cause high cholesterol. Catch 22 is a phrase that often comes to mind. Sometimes I feel like talking to a Dr is like listening to the news. You hear him talking but you are not sure he is getting all the facts right. I have no faith in the pharmaceutical companies at all. They are trying to make money not cure people.
